恭敬僧之重要

 杂阿含经：【佛告诸比丘：彼帝释者，处人天自在，尚能敬僧，况汝比丘，出家修道，各宜敬僧。】

杂阿含经告诉我们：佛告诉诸比丘：帝释天在人间天上已达到自在无碍的境界，尚且能恭敬僧人，更何况你们比丘，是出家修道之人，了解了更加要恭敬僧人。

Saṃyukta Āgama Sutra:
 "The Buddha said to the monks, "Sakra, who has transcended all external conditions of heaven and earth and attained the unobstructed state, has to respect the Sangha, let alone say you monks, people who lead an ascetic life of cultivation. With this understanding, you should all the more develop reverence for the Sangha."
